Concrete Genie

Concrete Genie is one of the best games of this generation—an experience that expands the parameters of what video games can be. By embracing values like artistry, empathy, and beauty, this is a title that will appeal to gamers that might be feeling a bit world-weary, bringing color to a world that has been feeling a bit gray lately. If you have ever wondered why video games have to be so violent and dehumanizing, then do the industry a favor and support this game. And lest I forget to mention: Concrete Genie is a lot of fun to play.

Concrete Genie is small but ambitious work. A beautiful story of courage, friendship with excellent feelings. The gameplay blends perfectly with all the artistic aspects, cured to the details.

A somewhat simple story and action gameplay are wrapped around an incredibly beautiful wrapper and are brought to life through an inspiringly gorgeous painting game, where your art literally becomes alive and brings light and color to the in-game world.

Pretty visuals and a heart-warming story make this mix of exploration, graffiti- and ghost-puzzles a decent as well as relaxing experience – although one with weaknesses in terms of battle system as well as some technical issues.

Even though some concepts never really feel fleshed out, Concrete Genie's imaginative design is compelling. It’s often way too straightforward, and elements like the combat feel like afterthoughts. However, covering Denska's walls with vibrant illustrations brings a wonderful sense of satisfaction, and watching your genies come to life is a delight.

Concrete Genie is a warm, joyful experience that embraces creativity in a unique way. Painting your way through Denska is effortlessly fun, and the genies that help Ash through his adventure are delightful. While this main thrust of the game is well realised, combat feels like an afterthought, as it's stashed away right at the end. This and a couple of smaller issues hold the game back from greatness, but taken as a whole, this is definitely worth playing -- and pretty as a picture, too.

Concrete Genie’s painting tech impresses at first and its heart is certainly in the right place, but the game ultimately proves too aimless to support its already brief running time. Adorning the city in landscapes of your own creation quickly loses its luster as you realize that what you create lacks meaningful interactivity. Even the jarring addition of combat midway through doesn’t do much to counter the sense that Pixelopus couldn’t find a way to build out a full game around a simple gameplay idea.

Отличная игра, для разнообразия самое то, платина тоже легкая.

Concrete Genie is a charming and creative adventure with a beautiful art style and a unique painting mechanic that brings its world to life. Its heartfelt story and relaxing atmosphere are highlights, though its short length and simple gameplay leave it feeling a little limited. A delightful experience with plenty of imagination.

This game is very chill and i actually liked it, people needs games like it in this current PS gen. 7.25

The games plot and protagonist would suggest this is a game about artistic freedom, yet way the game refuses to let go of the players hand and puts such strict limits on what the player can actually paint is at complete odds with that message.

Queda solo en lo que prometió algo bonito, pero decepcionante. Quizá con algún contenido adicional alarguen su miserable vida.
